Consider the equations x a(θ-sin θ ) and z#a(1+cos0) where a is a constant. the z(x) curve is called a cycloid, and is the shape traced out by a point on the rim of a wheel that rolls on a flat surface. most often, both equations have a minus sign, which corresponds to the cusps (the "pointy corners') of the cycloid being at the bottom; however, we are interested in the upside-down version of the cycloid as described by the above form of the equations. consider a bead of mass m that slides without friction on a curved wire that follows one period of an "upside-down" cycloid. gravity acts along the z axis. (i) write down the lagrangian in terms of 0. (i) find the equation of motion (eom) for the bead. ) show that d2u/dt2+gu/4a -o, where u - cos( /2), leads to the same eom as obtained in part (i) above. (iv) show that the bead can oscillate, and that the motion in terms of 0, assuming we are not dealing with the limit of small oscillations, is not simple harmonic motion. (v) find the period for these oscillations

When applying kirchhoff's rules, one of the essential steps is to mark each resistor with plus and minus signs to label how the electric potential changes from one end of the resistor to the other. the circuit in the drawing contains four resistors, each marked with the associated plus and minus signs. however, one resistor is marked incorrectly. which one is it?

Consider the particle-in-a-box problem in 1d. a particle with mass m is confined to move freely between two hard walls situated at x = 0 and x = l. the potential energy function is given as (a) describe the boundary conditions that must be satisfied by the wavefunctions ψ(x) (such as energy eigenfunctions). (b) solve the schr¨odinger’s equation and by using the boundary conditions of part (a) find all energy eigenfunctions, ψn(x), and the corresponding energies, en. (c) what are the allowed values of the quantum number n above? how did you decide on that? (d) what is the de broglie wavelength for the ground state? (e) sketch a plot of the lowest 3 levels’ wavefunctions (ψn(x) vs x). don’t forget to mark the positions of the walls on the graphs.
